Not exactly like Michelins. Michelins have less rolling resistance.
They are rugged, (10 ply sides like Michelins). They are close in handling as well.
A little noisier and the resistance drops the m p g a few, (for me) .
That said, on my 10 year old Sprinter, they are a deal.
Have not had them very long to judge all areas.

These are the fifth set of this brand and style of tire. I put three sets on my Chevy Express van. The other went on a Chevy Trailblazer. I get between 70000 to 75000 miles with them. This last set went on a 2015 Silverado. I really like these tires. This is first time with Simple tire. Very pleased with service and shipping. Also great pricing.

Simple tire prices couldn't be beat. I would rate the price, availability, and selection 5 stars. The location that I had the tires shipped to for installation was more than double the price advertised on the website. I know that Simple tire has no control over that.
